Simple partisanship ratios don't tell the whole story though, you would need to weight by reaearch funding and also academic reach measured by h-index or something similar, it's just a super weak argument you've made

Just pick, say, top 25 departments. They get plenty of research funding and have great h-indices and they're, by and large, heavily liberal.

Replying to @SameOldTrain @mattyglesias
Even looking at the department wouldnt be granular enough, each prof has differing views and influence, and this is before you even start to measure impact on policy outcomes. For instance, a republican staff economist like @AlanMCole has lots of reach but isn't in a uni setting
